Tyler Redd*ck,
I’ve been hard on you. I’ve called you a B+ driver. I’ve called you a choker. I’ve criticized you for brake checking middle aged neckless men. I’ve criticized you for being treacherous. Ive called you a pushover. But Sunday afternoon? You finally showed me something.
Let’s take a bit of a history lesson. See, both of your Xfinity championships were shams. You lucked into your first title and you had to beat Cole Custer for your second one. Then? You got promoted to Cup to drive for the esteemed Richard Childress. The man who believed in you above all else.
You got to Cup and everyone touted you as a generational talent being held back by RCR equipment. But me? I saw right through you. I called you a B+ driver. That’s because I saw that you had rocket ships for race cars and you just kept on choking. I saw you at Fontana overdrive your stuff and blow a tire sweating…. Erik Jones . You finished second to Austin Dillon more than once. Embarrassing. Eventually, you “won” a race. But it was a road course, and everyone knows those don’t really count. Then you “won” at another road course…. The Indy road course which is basically a mosh pit but with race cars. Then you “won” at Texas but in reality you were just a 9th place car and everyone in front of you crashed. And then you “won” at COTA, a race where NASCAR changed the rules for you with single file restarts and no stage cautions.
But Sunday? You did it. You put the demon of Erik Jones in your mirror when you passed him and Logano for the lead. You won the race as all races should be won: On a green-white-checkered where the leader was sailing away until NASCAR decided to throw a caution because someone had a flat tire and posed no danger to the rest of the cars on the track.
